Chapter 662 Truth Or Dare


    There was a knock on the door before a waiter came in, carrying ten sses of milk. Debra was


    stunned by this and said, "But I didn''t order milk."


    "I ordered it." It was Austin who spoke up. His face was cold, but the tone of his voice was very warm.


    "Drinking wine is bad for the stomach. But milk can form a protectiveyer over your gastric mucus. As


    a result, it reduces the harmful effects of alcohol to your stomach. That''s why you should drink milk first

    before wine."


    "Thank you, Austin!"


    "Austin, you are so kind."


    Everyone then took a ss of milk with a smile. Austin turned to look at Michelle and said, "Always


    remember to drink a ss of milk first before taking wine in the future."


    The others knew that Michelle and Austin got along well, so they didn''t pay much attention to them.


    Lydia was the only one who seemed to notice this brief interaction. She stopped drinking milk for a


    moment, and then began to sip slowly.


    Others might not know Austin very well, but she did. He was the type of guy who always helped his


    ssmates whenever they asked for it. But he was not a person who would initiate friendship first.


    In the past three years, the only time she saw him take the initiative was whenever he was with


    Michelle. He never did it publicly or directly. It was always in a subtle way like this situation with the


    milk.


    The reason why Lydia noticed all these things was because she also paid too much attention to Austin.


    In a way, she treated him differentlypared to other guys.


    In fact, she just ordered bottles of Evian mineral water for the entire ss just so she could bring one to


    Austin. She had seen him drinking one before. And it was then she realized how expensive it was. It


    almost cost her half of the money she earned in a month.


    Austin never told his ssmates about his family background. However, Lydia had seen him get in a


    luxury car on the way back home. There was even a driver who opened up the door for him and treated


    him respectfully.


    She didn''t know much about cars, but she memorized the logo and searched for it online. It was


    apparently a Bentley which was worth around two to three million.


    Even with all her money, she knew she couldn''t afford a Bentley. She was only able to save up enough


    to finish high school. And when she went to college, she had to pay the tuition with a student loan. She


    also had to rely on schrships and part-time jobs in between.


    It was then that she realized just how wide the gap was between her and Austin. As a result, she had to


    hide all her feelings for him carefully.


    Later on, she grew closer to Austin. But it was only because they helped each other in their


    professional courses, and she could get good grades in the end.


    A woman''s sixth sense was usually very urate. When Austin asked her about Michelle, she already


    knew that he liked Michelle. His feelings hadsted for three years.


    He even made sure that Michelle wouldn''t fail her exams by outlining key points for everyone in the


    ss. Back then, his face turned livid with anger while trying to exin everything to Michelle. But then,


    he just closed his eyes for a while and waited for himself to calm down. Upon opening his eyes again,


    he patiently exined everything to the top.


    But as soon as he realized that she wasn''t even concentrating on her studies, he stopped forcing her to


    learn everything and just let her recite the important points.


    Lydia had always known that Austin liked Michelle just as how she liked him. They had been secretly in


    love with the other person for three years, but they decided to keep their feelings to themselves.


    Lydia took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Don''t drink too muchter, Michelle. Believe it or not,


    I''ll leave you on the street if you get drunk."


    "Well, I don''t believe you. You said the same thing to mest time." Michelle held up her arms proudly


    and raised up her ss. "Cheers!"


    "If you want to do it, then do it yourself. I won''t be joining you. I will only take a sip." Lydia took only a


    small sip of her drink, while Michelle took a big one of hers. She then shook her head with satisfaction.


    Leon only smiled and said nothing.


    Nobody drank that much. After all, they still needed to keep a clear head while singing and ying


    games. Once the table was cleared away, the room became more spacious. They all contentedly sat


    on the sofa.


    As expected, Rainy was the first to hog the microphone. She sang a song with her boyfriend.


    Michelle was sitting on the sofa, pping her hands along the music. Leon raised his chin to look at the


    stage and said, "Michelle, why don''t you sing a song? I haven''t heard you sing yet."


    As soon as he said this, the others all turned to stare at him. They all looked at him as if he was a


    monster.


    Even Michelle had the same expression. "Are you sure you really want to hear me sing, Leon?"


    "Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Leon nced at everyone else before turning back to


    Michelle. "Do you sing badly?"


    "Well, not really." Michelle blinked. "It''s just not pleasant to hear."


    Leon was speechless


    He couldn''t see how those were different at all.


    "If you really want to listen, I can try singing a song for you," Michelle said.


    The others


    rolled their eyes secretly.


    They didn''t want to hear her sing.


    As Michelle tried to get up, Debra grabbed her arm and said, "No, no. Let''s just y games instead."


    But Michelle insisted. "I actually know how to sing."


    "You can''t!" Aron stopped her as well. "Let''s just y games. If you don''t want somethingplicated,


    we can just y with dices. Whoever gets the smallest number will be punished. Or we can just y


    truth or dare. Just please don''t sing!"


    Their reactions were so weird that Leon became curious. "Why don''t you want to hear her sing?"


    "Let me tell you!" Aron eximed.


    "Don''t say it!" Michelle quickly reached out to cover Aron''s mouth with her hand, but he was able to slip


    away. Heughed as he told Leon the story of how Michelle became famous because of her singing.


    During the first night of their military training, their teacher, Mr. Zhao, had arranged an event where


    everyone could get to know each other. Each of them went up on stage and introduced themselves.


    Afterwards, they began to y a game where they passed a water bottle.


    When it stopped, both Austin and Michelle were holding the water bottle. After a short discussion, they


    were called up to the stage where they had to showcase their talent.


    People often thought of singing when it came to talent shows. Austin and Michelle agreed to their


    demand. They chose the only song that Michele could sing without looking at the lyrics.


    The whole ss looked forward to their performance since Austin was handsome and Michelle was


    sweet.


    Austin sang first. His voice was deep and smooth. The girls were in uproar upon hearing him. But as


    soon as Michelle started singing, everyone else was horrified.


    It was as if she wasn''t singing a song at all. She sounded like someone who was reciting a poem


    instead. In fact, reading a poem had more emotions than what Michelle did. Her voice was


    emotionless, but she didn''t seem to notice this at all. She was feeling good about herself and was


    smiling the whole time.


    Aron couldn''t stopughing as he ryed the story. "Because she couldn''t sing well, Austin started to


    sing off key, too. I could clearly remember the look of horror on his face.


    It was as if he had torn his trousers apart while walking down the street." The others startedughing


    as well.


    Austin turned his head to the side and chuckled softly.


    Meanwhile, Leon had his right hand clenched and pressed tight against his lips. He was looking at


    Michelle''s red face. Her cheeks were puffed up angrily, and he wanted tough at that. But he kept it in


    and coughed several times instead.


    She must be a fairy who came down from heaven to bring fun to them.


    "I don''t want to talk to you anymore." Michelle snorted and ran to a corner to sit down. She began


    ignoring everyone around her.


    Lydia stoppedughing and turned serious. "Michelle can actually sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She


    sings it very beautifully."


    ''Lydia is the only one being nice to me!'' Michelle thought gratefully.


    Aron then began gathering everyone around. "Let''s y truth or dare. Just spin that empty bottle."


    Everyone sat around the table with an empty bottle in the middle and a pile of cards for truth or dare.


    Leon joined them as well. It reminded him of his own school days. Theyughed and looked so pure.


    "Michelle,e and spin the bottle." With a wide smile, Aron pushed the bottle in front of her.


    Of course, Michelle wasn''t angry at all. She was just pretending. Snorting, she took the bottle.


    Excitement shed in her eyes. "I''ll spin it."


    She held the bottle tenderly with her hand and then spun it in the middle of the table. Everyone


    watched it intently.


    "Please don''t be me," Michelle prayed in a low voice.


    But maybe God had misheard her because the bottle was pointing at her as soon as it stopped


    spinning.


    Michelle was speechless.


    Debra grinned mischievously and said, "What''s your decision? Truth or dare?"


    Michelle thought for a while and replied, "Dare."


    "Go ahead and pick one. We''ll check it for you." Debra pointed at the cards on top of the table.


    Under everyone else''s scrutiny, Michelle held her breath and picked a card. Debra took it in her hand


    and opened it. "You must kiss the first person of the opposite sex on your right. On the mouth!"


    "Oh!" The crowd hooted and howled.


    "Who is it?" Rainy asked. "Who is the first person of the opposite sex at Michelle''s right? Which side is


    the right side anyway?"


    "Idiot!" Debra rolled her eyes at Rainy.


    Lydia nced at the guy on Michelle''s right and said, "It''s Leon!"


    "Yeah! It''s Leon!" Aron eximed. All eyes fell on Leon.


    He blinked, seemingly confused by everything.


    As soon as Debra finished reading, he immediately knew it was going to be him. His brain instantly


    nked out, and his blood rushed to his ears, turning them red.


    His eyes fell on Michelle''s lips, but he quickly looked away. At that moment, his heart was beating


    faster and louder. He felt like a thief who was afraid of getting caught while stealing.


    But then, Michelle''s soft and pink lips popped up into his mind once more. He found himself looking


    forward to it.
